Lol, it's always the same over there .... i remember seeing the original '30 metres deep' post, and thinking wait a minute, figure how many cubic metres of material has to be moved to make such a hole, considering a minimum two and a half to one slope on the sides, you can't do that in a few hours overnight, so it would be seen from space for sure ...... you just know there are spy satellites trained on the area .... who knows, maybe some odds and ends did get moved, it's hardly enough for one nation to claim the right to occupy another across the sea .... the only real WMDs are nuclear weapons anyway, as Carl points out way back, and we know who's got those
But i'm not so interested in that stuff here, surely there is something else going on in the world ... nytimes.com says neanderthals may not have been human, hmm .... well that's a bit dated .... ah, Castro tightens internet control - news.bbc.co.uk

Let's hope that turns out to be the case .... what a crock Fidel, no one is fooled that this is anything but censorship, you are afraid of your own people, of what you know will happen when they get a little contact with the Rest of Us out here

... you see Fidel, this is the way to be a hero - die a little younger, and don't hang around screwing up your image |
